FAQ
Should I form an LLC or a C-Corp for my startup?
If you plan to raise venture capital, a Delaware C-Corp is required. If you are bootstrapping or raising small amounts, an LLC may suffice.
Why do I need an IP Assignment Agreement?
Investors will not fund you if the founders own the intellectual property personally. The IP must be legally transferred to the company.
What is an 83(b) election?
It is a letter sent to the IRS that allows founders to pay taxes on their total equity upfront at a low valuation, saving millions in future taxes.
Are these templates?
No. Every document is drafted based on your specific equity split, management structure, and business model.
Do you file the documents with the state?
This gig is for the drafting of the internal corporate documents. State filings (like Articles of Incorporation) are handled by your registered agent.
Do I need the Premium package?
If you are working with external developers, freelancers, or co-founders, the Premium package is essential to secure your IP and employment terms.
